Included a Survey Monkey survey with both postings
Feedback Received as of February 27, 2014
From Facebook viewers:
Compliments: Liked presentation. Asked what age group was intended. Enjoyed narration and music. Liked the bilingual aspect of the video. Two stated that they would share the video with others.
Criticisms: Mispronounced the Spanish word "Alfabetizacion." The ending was awkward. Forgot to cite Wordle word cloud. The message needs to send an invitation to visit the library. The use of keywords or captions may be needed for photos.
From Cohort viewers:
Compliments: Liked voice over. Many stated that they liked the bilingual aspect of the presentation. Liked the poetic repetition of the hook line, "Did You Know?" Liked Wordle word cloud at the end. Stated that pictures matched well with presentation.
Criticisms: Voice over was mono-tone, low and slow. Voice over needs more energy. Script needed to be faster. Slip-ups on narration and mispronounced Spanish word. The use of varying conjunction words before the hook phrase was awkward.
From Survey Monkey:
Compliments: Liked the information that was included, which showed a comprehensive view of the basic services of the library. Believed the video and presentation quality were high. Stated that the video would encourage them to visit the library.
Criticisms: The picture of the little girl with the Duck Dynasty shirt was weird. Maybe use different music.
